      My counterfeit trench gun project

      Found an old Stevens 520A at the Louisville gun show a few months ago. My son noticed the guy walking around with it and he only wanted $100 so I gladly gave him that. It had a long barrel with the adjustable choke and a cracked loose buttock with no butt plate. Very worn with a great old...

      NCAA, Gainbridge Fieldhouse and concealed carry?

      I should have asked this a while ago but wife and I are headed up to Indy to watch Purdue (hopefully win) their first and second round games. Does anyone know if they will have metal detectors at Gainbridge Fieldhouse? I don't plan on packing a 1911 or 44 mag in, but would sure like to have a...

      Clarksville military swap meet

      Several years ago, there was an occasional (monthly almost) little swap meet in a parking lot across from Providence High School on Saturdays. Does anyone know about this, who organized them and if they still hold them with warm months coming up?

      User name SAMSON, Did anyone know him personally?

      I corresponded back and forth with SAMSON many years ago regarding a Stevens 620 shotgun. I know he passed away several years back but am looking for anyone who may have known him personally. He was a collector of the older Stevens 520 and 620 shotguns and I'm looking for a longer barrel for my...

      WWII Japanese officer's sword

      A long time ago when I was about 8 years old (45 years ago), I was with my mom when she was visiting a friend. The woman's husband showed me a Japanese sword he had brought back from WWII. I thought it was the coolest thing and have always wanted one in the back of mind. Well, last year my son...

      Mobility is not over-rated

      Well... last Sunday was a nice day. Went to church, got my hair cut, cut the grass, went to go put some tubs up on a shelf in the garage and suddenly realized that was the last normal day I was going to have for a long while. Tub slipped, tried to catch it out of reflex, took a bit of a tumble...

      I really hate people sometimes

      We have had our house on the market for quite a while. Got an offer last month, little low but we countered to a point where we only had to bring a couple thousand to closing.
